Black and White , Who is Colored?

When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in Sun, I black

When I scared, I black

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow

When you born, you pink

When you grow up, you white

When you go in sun, you red

When you cold, you blue

When you scared, you yellow

When you sick, you green

And when! You die , you gray

And you calling me colored?

Received a forwarded email for the above poem from a friend with a quote, "the  poem  was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2009 and written by an african kid". I've done some research but the statement can not be confirmed because there are few other versions about the origin of this poem such as :

1. It was nominated as the best poem of 2006 not 2009
2. It was a pop song in 1990s
3. It was written by Malcom X
4. It has been around since 1970s
5. Some say this is a prank or a hoax thai is circulating on the internet for some years.
6.  Some even say this poem is just a racist view about human life and has no merit or truth to support it by facts, stating that all babies, irrespective of their race and ethnicity are born in the same color. The newborn baby is reddish purple in color as the skin is very thin and transparent and we actually see the color of the blood which is the same in all humans. It takes several weeks of maturation before the baby develops permanent skin tone and color. Black kids get sun burn, they turn blue, they turn yellow when they are sick and they turn gray as the aging process continues.
   
   

Very interesting poem indeed....but just bear in mind that whether we are black or white or colored or whatever color of our skin is....Allah says in the Al Quran, Surah Al Hujuraat Verse 13 which means;

"O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and Tribes, that ye may know Each other (Not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the Most honoured of you In the sight of Allah is (He who is) the Most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."...

Who are we to say otherwise?.....
